At the next Secret Science Club, neuroscientist & author Antonio Damasio unlocks the story of human consciousness.
In recent decades, many philosophers and cognitive scientists have declared the problem of consciousness unsolvable, but Antonio Damasio argues that recent findings in biology, neuroscience, psychology, and artificial intelligence give us a path toward understanding consciousness and its significance for human life.
Join us as we explore the relationship between our minds, bodies, feelings, and emotions—and how our complex human consciousness has evolved throughout the eons.
--Mix up our soothing, seasonal cocktail of the night, the "Peace of Mind"… (recipe below!)
--Groove to ever-evolving tunes
--Bring your questions for the live Q&A
--Snag a copy of Antonio Damasio’s new book, Feeling & Knowing: Making Minds Conscious here
Antonio Damasio is the director of the Brain and Creativity Institute and a professor of neuroscience, psychology, and philosophy at the University of Southern California. Throughout his decades-long career, he has made seminal contributions to the understanding of brain processes underlying emotions, feelings, decision-making, and consciousness. The recipient of numerous scientific awards and prizes, Dr. Damasio is a member of the National Academy of Medicine and a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He is the author of Descartes’ Error, The Feeling of What Happens, Looking for Spinoza, Self Comes to Mind, The Strange Order of Things, and most recently Feeling & Knowing.
